- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon instant espresso powder
Toppings
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (for dusting)

- Cottage cheese can be substituted with ricotta for a different texture.
- Use decaf espresso powder if caffeine sensitivity is a concern.
- Crushed ladyfinger biscuits are optional but add a traditional tiramisu touch.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days for best freshness.
